I am interested in the next generation Mitsubishi Outlander and its standard seating for seven. The lack of a third-row in most cute-utes makes mommies shun them for carpooling detail. So they head right for the mastodons of the lot in the form of a Tahoe or Expedition. When an Traverse or Explorer would make more sense. With all of the negative press about Mitsu in the US financially, I want to see the ute’ be the underdog success story. One thing that can help it: The 710 watt Rockford Fosgate system. I tried one in the Lancer and it delivers smash-your-face-in bass. Looking forward to seeing how it does in the Outlander. And check this out if you would like one yourself for free. ..
